Yeah, Native Appropriations is going to be all over that shit in about 3, 2, 1...
Maybe I've always been here.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I love native appropriations so much. She does great work.

Me, too! I was also so glad to see that the Paul Frank company responded in a sensitive and correct way when they were called out. I still love Julius and didn't want to have to boycott!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Is she good reading about appropriation? As a costume person, appropriation is sort of a weird subject, because sort of all you do is appropriate things. Or at least take inspiration from them. Some of them are Western, so there is theoretically not an issue. But something like the world/costumes of Firefly takes from a whole bunch of cultures.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I've always sort of longed for really wee chimney sweeps, with the stiff scratchy brushes, to clean my ears--the worst part of being plugged for me is the itchy. No Dick Van Dyke, though.

Still, I'd love to see a tiny Dick Van Dyke, dressed as a chimney sweep and covered in earwax.
But I suppose his singing while in your ear would get annoying.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
One weekend, I swear all of the ads I saw were for this ear cleaner machine thing. The best part of the ad was the stupid people stabbing themselves in the head with a q-tip and screaming "OW!" Edit: Here you go [link]

Aaagh. I am not allowed to eat anything until after my surgery (which is scheduled for noon). And I"m sitting here, staring at the food in my easy reach, going "would it REALLY be so bad?!" WANT FOOD.
Also on the shit list: the person whose car alarm went off last night, and then stopped, and then went off again half an hour later...all night long.
